Sorry guys, its the way the feedback hub created it for me, I initially had all details with image and video but this is the way it posted in the end!

Nothing to be sorry mate as pointed out by @LEAOPEVA64 it is a change in the way feedback hub works.

It did the 100% thing twice for me as well. Even so, it took only about 7 minutes from desktop to desktop and all seems well.

As for Notepad mine seems to be working fine but, somehow I can't get it to open with NSudo "it complains that isn't installed".
No idea (yet) why or when it started (just noticed today)

Damn.

I need to do a dual boot on my main machine. Can't have insider previews on my main work/gaming station.

I have insider builds on my laptop but want to test with a proper rig.

60gb should be enough for an install with office and basic apps? Enough space for new downloads of Windows, can use clean up tool when space is low.. or 80gb to be safe?

Install it in an expandable virtual hard drive and it will grow to maximum you set. INITIALLY, it will only take a small amount of space

Exactly. When installed on native boot VHD, Windows 10 fully updated, VHD file size is about 11 GB.

For instructions, see this post in Ten Forums video thread.

Hi there

in addition to what others have posted :

I don't think either it matters what you use as as your Virtualisation software -- same type of result whether using HYPER-V, VMWare or KVM -- probably the same if you use VBOX but I've no experience of that. one though.

With Office Pro plus the Visio and Project applications, Photoshop, Kodi, VLC, an ISO from UUPDUMP and some downloaded data my Windows VM is around 18 GB in size (actual physical size on my Host machine) even though I specified an 85GB Virtual disk size -- Virtual disks can be allocated so that they grow when needed up to max size specified. If I discard the UUPDUMP iso and some downloaded data or move it from the VM to host the VM would be approx Kari's size of 11 GB --maybe a teeny weeny bit more (Photoshop and the entire office suite).

Cheers

The best part of installing Windows to VHD and booting to it is that no virtualization software is required. Booting natively to VHD means it uses the real, physical hardware of the host. It is and behaves as any physical Windows installation, with only one difference: Windows cannot be upgraded on native boot VHD.

To upgrade my native boot VHDs, I boot to host main OS, create a Hyper-V VM using the native boot VHD as existing hard disk, and upgrade it using UUP Dump ISO. When upgraded, I can again boot natively to it.

When I no longer need a specific VHD, I simply delete the VHD file and remove its boot menu entry.
